HELP! What Brand, Model, year of production of my 7.65

Steelgray

I have a 7.65 that I have no info on. All I can see is Made in Italy cal7.65-m-m32-bore-p1- I see no Brand Name, No Model. I have removed the grips and the magazine used a bright light and see no markings. How can I find information for this pistol. Also since I do not have any info not sure how to field strip the pistol. Help Please. Thank you

    It's an older Beretta, possibly 1951 or 70 series. It has been "scrubbed"; i.e.; someone has removed substantial amounts of steel with a grinder, then polished & blued it. The slide markings look reasonable nice, but were done by hand with engraving tools.

    Since the serial number has been removed, simple possession is a federal crime. I recommend that you throw it into a large body of water or bury it. Most friendly police agencies would accept it for destruction (always make arrangements by phone before bringing a gun into a police station).

    EDIT: Looks like we failed to give you a definitive answer to your question. Maybe if you give us better photos, with good fill lighting, we might be able to spot other clues.

    It looks closer to the M1935 what do you think

    I don't believe it's Italian at all. Looks to me, to be a Khyber Pass special, ( North West, Pakistan. Close to the border with Afghanistan). GOOGLE, "Khyber Pass Guns". Also a bunch of U Tube videos, showing how and where they make them there.

    Looking at photos from internet put i closer to the early FIE./ Excam/Targa pistols.

    Not Beretta Not in any of my two Beretta Books. Trigger guard front is longer , sights not correct, and hammer not correct..

    Targa's were a economy line of semi-auto pistols, made by Tanfoglio in Italy. They came with full Italian markings and proof marks. The OP's pistol might look like a Targa. But the lack of Italian markings and proof marks. Identify it as being spurious. As per my previous post my money is on it being a fake from Pakistan.
